Names 709 to 725




(709) Sukhakari सुखकरी - ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 968

(710)Suvaasini सुवासिनी - ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 970

(711) Suvaasinyarchanapritaa  सुवासिन्यर्चनप्रीता - ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 971

Whereas the previous two words denote the prominent religious qualifications for men, here are those for women.

Mother's female devotees must be carriers and creators of happiness to all. They must like the most beautiful flowers that spread the fragrance of purity, divinity and hilarity all around them.

The third name state that Mother is pleased with the worship of Her by Suvaasinis, worship being nothing else but the fulfilment of the condition of their being Suvaasinis. Mother is most pleased with those female devotees that give maximum happiness to others as daughter, wife or mother or the family woman, neighbour, hostess, kind mistress to servants, patroness, donors, etc. 
WOMAN HAS THE INHERENT QUALITY OF BRINGING HAPPINESS. Mother is most pleased with them THAT BY THEIR VERY PRESENCE, and sweet speech make all miseries forgotten, and with them that spread the fragrance of their silent service and self-sacrifice. 

In routine religion, Suvaasini means a married woman whose husband is alive and Suvaasinyarchanpritaaa means " She that is pleased by the worship offered by women with their husband alive. " In Mother's Ideal, however, religiosity has no existence without righteousness and therefore I prefer the above interpretation. There is nothing like meritoriousness or meritlessness in only fact of being married or unmarried, being with or without a husband or in the condition of the husband being alive or dead.

(712) Naama-paaraayana-preetaa नामपारायणप्रीता - ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 732

(713) Stotra-preeyaa स्तोत्रप्रिया - ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 927

(714) Stuti-mati स्तुतिमती - ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तो., नाम क्रमांक 928

She that is pleased by the continued repetition of Her name, Hymn or Prayer.

Righteous living, goodness, happiness-conferring and fragrance-spreading have been spoken about. Righteousness and goodness are no doubt the most admirable requirements for being happy but they are only the entrance gates of religiosity. Many more things are required to be happy and that is because everyone does not act righteously. Just the reverse of it, the righteous man is generally most crushed because he offers the least resistance and is of a harmless and forgiving nature. The world's way is to curse the good man for not being better and to thank the bad man for not being worse, as only that way one's self-interest is best served. In this world, there are many unknown and uncontrollable forces and happenings and therefore in addition to goodness and righteousness, one needs the Grace of Controller of the Universe.

"Being good", is conveyed in the first requirement of  Mother's Ideals, viz., "Love All". It includes the requirement of a good and superior heart but goodness will remain barren unless it is translated into action. This is conveyed in the second requirement, viz., "Serve All." Love without service is unfruitful. It has not the material substance to keep the flame ablaze. Service without love does not bring bliss to the server or the served. Thus Love and Service should go together. Further even service with love or love with service is found to be not enough for being happy. We than an acquaintance with higher happiness which laughs at all kinds of little happiness that this world can give. Hence "Devotion to Mother," is the third requirement which we are dealing with here. The third requirement means "Be the pet child of the Controller of the Universe."

Mother is pleased by the frequent repetition of Her names which is the simplest method of securing Her Grace. This must be done without any idea of prohibitions of time, place, manner and even bodily condition.

 Repetition must be practised until your tongue becomes so accustomed that it will go on doing its work without physical exhaustion, exertion and even consciousness, just as some have the habit of unconscious leg-shaking. One devotee says," Oh tongue, why I have flattered and flattened thee with most dainty dishes !! Why, if it is not with the hope that thou will not prove faithless, and will not fail to save me by repetition of Mother's sacred name !!


 She is further pleased by stotras, which mean age-borne popular hymns and psalms. 

She is further pleased by  Stuti Mati स्तुतिमती, which means the mentality (Mati - मती) to feel grateful for whatever good is found and happens and to offer prayers of thanksgiving for the same.
